*Enhance and Integrate Configuration Management System into 'codebasedutils'

Objective

Refine the existing configuration management system currently used in 'scaleton' and integrate it into the live 'codebasedutils' library. This integration aims to standardize configuration management across all our tools, improving maintainability and consistency.

Background

The current configuration management system is specific to 'scaleton' and needs to be more flexible and robust for integration into our broader toolset. By refining and merging this system into the already live 'codebasedutils' library, we can ensure a unified and more efficient approach to configuration management across our software suite.

Tasks

1. Refactor Configuration Management Code

• Objective: Upgrade and modularize the configuration management code for broader use.
• Tasks:
  • Review and refactor the existing configuration code from 'scaleton' for modularity.
  • Ensure the module supports JSON configurations and is environment-agnostic.
  • Test for compatibility with different file paths and operational environments.

2. Integration into 'codebasedutils'

• Objective: Seamlessly integrate the refactored configuration module into 'codebasedutils'.
• Tasks:
  • Integrate the refactored module into 'codebasedutils' library.
  • Ensure that the integration does not disrupt existing functionalities of 'codebasedutils'.
  • Update the library's version and document the changes in the release notes.

3. Documentation and Examples

• Objective: Provide comprehensive documentation for the new configuration system.
• Tasks:
  • Document the setup and usage of the new configuration module within 'codebasedutils'.
  • Create and include example configurations and use cases.
  • Update the 'codebasedutils' library documentation to reflect the new changes.

4. Testing and Validation

• Objective: Ensure robustness and compatibility with various use cases.
• Tasks:
  • Develop and execute test cases covering various scenarios.
  • Perform integration testing with different tools that use 'codebasedutils'.
  • Fix any identified bugs or issues during testing.

5. Version Control and Release Management

• Objective: Manage versioning and releases effectively.
• Tasks:
  • Implement semantic versioning for the new release of 'codebasedutils'.
  • Ensure backward compatibility or clearly document any breaking changes.
  • Tag and release the new version of 'codebasedutils' post-testing.

Acceptance Criteria

• The configuration module is fully integrated into 'codebasedutils' without disrupting existing functionalities.
• Comprehensive documentation is available for the new configuration system.
• All tests pass, ensuring the module's functionality across different environments and use cases.
• The new version of 'codebasedutils' with the configuration module is released with proper versioning and documentation.
